This is the place on-line where I park my spontaneous thoughts, poetry, etc.

Poem #15-2012 Fire Danger Today
Hearth visitors
drown in the miracle
of my fire
It lures them close
before
turning them to instant ash
Neither fire nor victim
aware of the danger
until survival
is out of the question
Interesting, hearth visitors....... I didn't really catch the beat of this until I read your connection to Kerouac. Now I'd say masterful....! He was certainly one to invoke thought....
And the fire either never learns, or is rekindled with a clean slate every day
ReplyDeletekinda scary you know...and def earthy as we see the same trickery in nature often....
ReplyDeleteoh don't we wish. And sometimes we even do. Sweet piece.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog name :)
